More about the Garnet gemstone

The name probably derives from the Latin word “Granatum” meaning “pomegranate”, as the red colour of the stone has the appearance of seeds of this fruit.

The name Garnet is given to a group of stones that consist of similar crystal structures and chemical compounds, in all colours but blue. One of the most popular is the rhodolite Garnet, which ranges from pink to purplish red in colour.

Jewellery Tips

Be careful of chemicals affecting your gemstones and precious metals. You will find that many household cleaning products such as bleach and other cleaning preparations will tarnish silver and cause decolourisation of some gemstones.
